#sick of neurotypicals

[katebushsbabushka]

The time my lecturer got annoyed at me, an undiagnosed autistic student, during his lecture about autism because I was stimming.

I think my favorite story about pre-therapy me is that, as part of one of my education classes, we all had to attend an autism lecture. Well, I was obviously very bored during the lecture because it was in the late afternoon, and I was burnt out and wanted to go home. I began fidgeting with a penny I had on my desk right as the lecturer began talking about stimming.

I don't know if he got offended that I was amusing myself during his talk or what, but he proceeded to point me out in the middle of the lecture and say, in a very loud and obnoxious voice, "Stimming. That's exactly what she's doing right now."

I think it's very funny for several reasons:

Dude was obviously peeved at me for silently contenting myself instead of staring him down and pretending like I was listening.

He absolutely used Sheldon Cooper as the pinnacle example of autism in media.

It did not cross his mind once that I may have been autistic, probably because I was in college, a female, and relatively neurotypically passing.

It’s amazing how often you’d come across somebody whose opinions on things like justice, human rights and other such matters are perfectly rational.

Then you ask them about something like international affairs or vaccines and disabilities and it turns out that they’re completely fucking insane and deranged.

Babbling all the usual conspiratorial drivel about how “tHa JeWz” are controlling everything and that their shitty internet connection is all the fault of the “ZOG”.

(What even is that?!)

Before going on the spout the usual drivel about vaccines causing autism. Which btw they don’t.

The cognitive dissonance on display is astounding.

They’re so close to seeing bullshit for what it is, and then they sell their brains to 4Chan or kiwifarms or wherever and embrace fucking bigotry!

It seems to be something of a pattern.

just neurodivergent things (that are overlooked because they're more common in neurodivergences with less awareness)

-speaking in a super vague and indirect way out of intense fear of criticism or rejection

-creating personas tailored to different spaces because few people can be allowed to know the Real You -puroposefully triggering dissociation to feel like a ghost and get away from human beings, including the sense of your own human body

#avpd #feel free to add more #tbh I'm so sick of people associating overly vague communication with neurotypical people

it's so funny to think back of how so many people thought it was dumb that murders would happen over a doll in watanagashi/meakashi when as ever shion has been simmering for a long time and it's just the straw that broke the camel's back. yasu is the same. they said she murdered everyone because she just wanted a prince on a pony. "she just didn't want to study" we're in a time loop now. they're all just catalysts that people use to invalidate their victimhood.

satoko, shion and yasu are extremely similar in that they're all victims of abuse who interpret their complex trauma through the lens of their feelings for a specific person (rika, satoshi, battler).

#also every time i see the studying complaint i just *stares in neurodivergent and mentally ill* #schools being intensive to the point of making a person want to give up and even becoming suicidal is a theme in the anime #of course it's never just one thing #people keep framing satoko as if she has 'only one reason' to do murder when she has so many layers of issues #both family and social which inform her decisions #anyway school being a huge source of her problems is fine #satoko is clearly struggling with attention and memory problems #we see her sitting in class being unable to focus and she even starts feeling sick when she forces herself for example #unlike the hinamizawa school this environment isn't one that fits her #she's also othered and abused on top of all this #you can tell who's the abled neurotypical person who never had to struggle at school growing up from what they think of satoko's motives #higurashi #higurashi gou #higurashi sotsu #umineko #gamo.txt

can we as a society please please please stop treating stim tools like annoying fads. like i just got a fidget spinner today and it is INSANE! like you mean they made these when i was in high school and i could have just?? had one??? but didn't because we treated them like cringey toys???

i see the same thing happening with pop its, like no they aren't just a cringe fad they help a lot of people... it's so frustrating how tools made for neurodivergent people are ridiculed, then accepted into popular culture as toys, then become passe and cringe and are once again ridiculed.

#i tried a pop it the other day and it did not help me at all which is too bad but fine since i see them break frequently #thats another thing! they become popular then mass produced at a low quality #also to be clear i do not resent neurotypicals for using stim tools #like if that helps them that helps them thats fine! #but when it gets turned into a cringe fad thats not cool #anyways my fidget spinner is so helpful and awesome and i love it #posts afflicted with a strange sickness #only somewhat related but i should blog about all the losers being autistic because they are. to me. i love projection #but also have you ever formed a new friendgroup and a few months later someones like 'btw i'm autistic' #and then you find out nearly everyone in the friendgroup is autistic??? because that has happened to me TWICE #this would happen with the losers... imagine they all meet up as adults and a few months after killing IT (with eddie and stan alive obv) #someone is like. btw guys i got screened a while ago and turns out i'm autistic. just wanted you guys to know #and everyones like. wait fr? me too! #that is so them. to me

[schr0dingus]

its justified i get incredibly pissed off about how the creator of sonichu was and is treated, right?

#im sick of it #i keep getti g reccomendations of turkey toms dumb cwc video #and his video of puppychan too #im fucking sick of it i fucking hate neurotypicals so much #im genuinely so pissed off i feel like im gonna die if i dont keep myself calm #vent

[lottieurl]

look. if someone doesn't like that type of wording that's completely fine and no one is forcing anyone to describe their experiences that way but the post is genuinely funny to me like. "you mean you were changed by art?" no i mean i spent three weeks almost not sleeping because all i could think about was that show and i was so hyper i run on two hours of sleep and frequently forgot to eat. that's what i MEAN when i call it brainrot. i call it brainrot because i'm actually quite aware it isn't healthy or good for me - being dehydrated, sleep deprived and not sleeping enough is usually not great for human beings. i know how it feels to be moved by art. i do not call it brainrot. "you're going to talk about art? you're going to be passionate?" i'm going to have a hard time talking about other things for months, i'm going to accidentally ghost friends because the idea of talking about other things can be painful, i am going to abandon working on things important to me because all i can focus on is that piece of fiction. also calling it brainrot is very funny because it feels actually weirdly disabling - genuinely losing ability to care for yourself and being unable to do the things you need to do - so it's fun to be able to at least joke about it and call it something that fits the experience way more than "being moved by art"

#before you ask why the screenshot is drowning its for mobile users to be able to easily tell where the post ends and my comment starts #i was moved by some books this year to the point of feeling changed as a person and sobbing for hours #none of it was brainrot #now i understand that some people might be describing a perfectly.. how shall i say.. neurotypical experience this way #i have no way of knowing. but neither has this person #i dont have to be taught abt the significance of storytelling in human history to understand #what being moved by art is #and that what i jokingly call brainrot is a whole different experience altogether #anyways ignore me ive been getting sick and now im SICK sick so everything feels like a much bigger deal than it actually is

[senseiwu]

I'm sorry but the "I am.a surgeon" meme.makes me feel sick

And the fact that people who have no clue whats going on act like dr han is some "chad" and not an ableist jerk

#i hated that period on twitter #i knew it would be a slippery slope to other things and i was right #im still haunted by a post that insulted shaun for 'walking like c3-p0'. that was months ago andnit still makes me verh self concious #because. i walk like he did in that clip when i dont have my cane. i have my hands clasped in front of me like that. #just. to be clear. there is a difference between autistic people making fun of what they think is a bad representation and neurotypical - #people mocking a character who is meant to be autistic. i hope that makes sense. #like i know for a fact that a lot of the posts i saw were not from autistic people #and it made me feel sick because i know ive had moments like that #i think thats why people used to laugh at me when i was angry #anyway. idk where im going with this #i just wanted to look up my comfort show in peace. but. #its filled with that freaking meme #i hate it #i hate it so much

since nonbinary has had its claws and teeth and wings clipped by people who've turned it into the third gender of whats now a trinary, i think we should expand its definition; what if nonbinary means you dont subscribe to any binary

#no man/woman no sick/well no black/white no religious/secular no east/west no neurodivergent/neurotypical #no cis/trans no binary/nonbinary even (oh no) #no normal/freak no enemy/friend #no past/future #no good/bad #i was gonna say radical solidarity but when you google that you only get like. priests talking about abortion so 😬 #um. why? #why is that #i guess it's the same concept just applied to different things #anyway radical solidarity with the living we're stronger together #sometimes i come across profiles of fellow freaks who want me dead #and im gonna stay out of hitting range im not stupid but im gonna stay on their side #i dont think we can afford not to #told on myself by calling it a side just then huh #i guess i still do believe in a binary #binary of people who try to control others vs the rest #im gonna hold onto that one im with the rest #still if theres people who want to control others but they dont have the POWER to do so #see: fellow freaks #then we're still on the same side until they get the power you know what i mean? #im not gonna attack my side of anti-control i dont think we can afford to #anyway

i also envy sonic's large and supportive friendgroup #cavewitch #threefriendsirl #oneismymom

#exoticbutterstxt #AMD LIKE. HES SO KIND. SONIC YOU WOULD TAKE MY DISABILITY SERIOUSLY #UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE #disabiliTIES. actually #it sucks because theyre all Brain. and i come across as somewhat normal on first blush. especially to neurotypical people #who are. most social workers i have worked with #and it just makes me feel not disabled enough yknow. cuz i just dont get a lot of help. #like. im not mentally sick enough to get resources which have to be rationed and reserved only for the Most Sick

Things In My Neurodivergent Class That Just Make Sense

Very little HW

Stim toys and plushies

Class is routine based and structure, but it's not complicated. I don't do a ton of handouts. I don't dumb my kids down.

I NEVER do group work.

Cross curriculum is BS. Math and English are not compatible. I don't do it.

I don't hide how stupid standardized testing is.

I teach in a religious school, so I'm constantly trying to help my kids through their already existing religious trauma. It's extremely exhausting.

Graphic organizers and other forms of extremely guided work are insulting and boring, so I don't use them.

Lecture and group discussions are better when they are relaxed and INTERESTING.

neurotypical people are banned from asking me if i'm okay until they figure out that me being quiet and not actively smiling doesn't necessarily mean something's wrong

#ace rambles #sick of my coworkers asking me what's wrong!! #and it's funny bc for a group of people who will trip over each other to ask if i'm okay the moment i don't perform neurotypical happiness #they are Universally Awful at registering when there Actually Is Something Wrong #i feel like i have to perform like a little clown to keep them off my back on a normal day but when i'm actually upset or unwell? crickets

[mister-girl]

As a neurodivergent person with noise sensitivity I just wanna say: if you play base heavy music in any public area I hate you if you have a loud car motor I hate you if you rev your stupid loud fucking car motor I hate you if you do construction work or use any heavy machinery before 10am I hate you if you slam doors loudly I hate you if you do any of these things on a Saturday or Sunday I hope you die slowly and painfully

ops on tumblr: describe a very basic human behaviour

others: :o that’s neurodivergent

op: omg :o

others: :o

#not everything u do is a symptom #reflect on neurotypical who have u met who u can confidently say is completely neurologically typical #you can just be a weirdo that’s still sick #(this post is not an attack on mental illnesses. adding this bc. internet.)

[milesedgy]

actually, something that's been on my mind is the fact that the world would be so much better if we just understood that the line between being mentally-ill and not mentally-ill is actually very thin.

there isn't really one type of behaviour that classifies as a mental illness, and in fact a lot of neurotypical people exhibit behaviours that are not the "norm". that is because everyone is a different human being with different thoughts and personalities.

the only reason why it would cross the line into mental illness territory is when these behaviours prevent you from functioning or from living a happy, full-filling life.

otherwise, there's no need to classify certain traits as "normal" and "not normal." no one is truly normal, and the sooner we learn that, the better.

#sometimes i see people on here act like neurotypical ppl are a completely different species that deal with no problems whatsoever #and that is just not true #i myself can suffer from crippling anxiety that makes it difficult for me to eat whenever something extremely distressing happens #which is a problem of course and i need support when i am in such state #however most of the time i am completely fine #to me its like any other type of sickness #if you caught a stomach bug once you wouldnt classify yourself as 'sick' for the rest of your life would you

Just looked up what Il deserto rosso is actually abt, and if I read her expressions in that gifset right - and I'm pretty sure I did.

I'm pretty sure I'll be watching it. Whether it's for catharsis or validation - I kinda need a movie like that rn

#personal #not in the best emotional state rn so I'm glad that I didnt get super sick at least #but i looked at the calendar and i should be in ovulation rn which is where I usually have the energy of a neurotypical #that ... is not happening #I'm at pms levels of energy and way of thinking #it's a very rough couple of weeks where i have to prove to people that I'm in a burnout and do you see the problem with that sentence
